How Did We Use the Ultimate PreK-12 Annual Membership?

Both my teens are currently working through courses offered on SchoolhouseTeachers.com. Therese is currently taking Spanish 1 and Photography.





Here are just a few of the beautiful pictures she has taken using this course.


  

Michael is taking Geology for his science this year and finishing up his foreign language requirements for high school with Spanish 2.


Both are working through the Fundamental Elements of Literature and Composition. With this course, they are reading various works of literature and learning to write a variety of compositions. By the end of this course, they both will gain more practice writing casual essay, an argumentative essay, a short story, a narrative essay, a compare/contrast essay, persuasive essay, and a research paper. They will learn how to do a literary analysis.
They took a course like this last year at a local co-op and I wanted them to gain more experience with these writing styles, since writing is a crucial key for success.




What Do We Think of the Ultimate PreK-12 Annual Membership?

I highly recommend the Ultimate PreK-12 Annual Membership. You can choose to use it for all your homeschooling needs or just a few classes. It is so convenient and easy to use. I would encourage any homeschooling family looking for a wide variety of courses and resources to check SchoolhouseTeachers.com out. It is well worth the price.

25 Snow Themed Books for a Winter Story Time

Please Note~ This post may contain affiliate links. If you choose to click on a link, add it to your cart and complete your purchase, I will receive a small percentage. We are very grateful for this additional source of income.




When the kids were little, I always created a display of themed books for our read aloud time. I would display the books in our front school room. We had a wonderful bay window that would hold the books perfectly. The books would be spread out over the window sill and silently call to be pick up. I loved how the kids could easily head into the room, pick out a book, and have a wonderful adventure. Picture books are such an amazing way to create life long readers. Interesting stories and beautiful illustrations draw a child in.

As they got older, they could sit down in a comfy bean bag and spend a few hours reading themselves. Simple, charming tales that helped their imaginations come to life.
